I just started trying to grow some strawberries. I’m following a video on YouTube to grow store bought. So far I’ve peeled off the skin of the store bought and let them sit in the sun for a few days and just gathered the dried up seeds and planted them in a smallish pot to sit outside. I just watered them and plan on checking up with them with this app but is there anything I should know as a beginner?

If you wanna speed up the process you can put plastic wrap over the container with some holes poked in it to increase humidity. Just make sure to mist the container right before putting it on!
